Would You Prefer This Category Layout?

[AB Editor]

Good afternoon.

After a lot of feedback, it seems many desktop/laptop users would like to be able to see some questions and the latest posts at the same time. We'd like to try and help, so would this be a preferred layout for the category pages?

This would just be desktop, mobile and tablet would look as they do now.

Canary42 - it won't scroll because it's a picture of how the site COULD look, not the site itself :)

Thanks for pointing that out, bhg. Disregard my vote if not for iPad please.

[Canary42]

Oh, I see now, thanks Mamya

Yes, as scrolling down for latest posts is making me dizzy.

While ur here
Ed....can I be 'tambo'

[Epsyc44]

I hate this format it is so slow it is impossible to browse through questions and answers. Useless will have to give up trying!

[whiskeryron]

YES PLEASE ED

[AB Editor]

You'll always be Tambo to me.

Epsyc44 - try refreshing your browser please.

[Lie-in King]

Much better! Nice one, Ed :-)

[B00]

Yes- gimme!

this format's too big.

:-)

No thanks Ed, I have now got used to the large print, and I need a magnify glass to read the screen shot.

Can't see what you mean by "it is only for the category pages", to me they both look the same, all locked up in an dark reddish box.

[tamborine]

Grrrr :(

[AB Editor]

Hi B00, font would stay the same size. Might be your browser sizing down the screenshot. Soz.

BUT, you can see the latest posts and the questions in a category at the same time?!

[bhg481]

AOG - that's just a screenshot of ED's page. If it goes live you'll be able to alter the font size to suit you.

[tamborine]

I could on previous set up but not on this new setup. Am on iphone

"BUT, you can see the latest posts and the questions in a category at the same time?! "

Yes ta :-)

Prefer this for the laptop/pc much less scrolling up and down.
